My Mac is responding so slow to any site or browser I try and open, that it can take 5-10 min. to open if it even does. It acts like I have a dial up connection. I contacted the internet service provider and the speed test proved it was responding above the speed required. I am using a Motorola modem and an Apple router.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
I am using a Motorola modem and an Apple router.
Why both?
I have the same setup. The modem isn't a wireless router and my Apple Time Capsule isn't a modem.

If you are at snow leopard - clean up top sites - if you don't use them edit them all out -- they are being automatically refreshed and added to -- big pain.
If you are at snow leopard you may want to switch browsers as Snow no longer supported by mac -- some recommend Firefox -- I use OPERA works fine -- and I do have dial up.
The same thing that Mike said in response to your question.
Does the fact I have OS X Yosemite have anything to do with it possibly?

Yosemite top sites I believe have more detail coming in than in Snow Leopard-something to do with full screen blah blah -- did some investigating out of curiosity. Any automatic updates to itunes podcasts, and synchronization through ICloud to other devices may also be a problem.
From other sites Yosemite does benefit from regular shut-downs (power off) to clear RAM of orphan modules.

Mac is responding like it was on dial up. Contacted the internet provider and the connection speed is fine.
